Yep, the whole island needs to be done. N.I. have given about 620K jabs but only have a third of your population. I think you guys have done about 470-500K, but as you are part of the EU purchase scheme will be held back a bit with vaccine supply for the moment. The EU are now asking the USA for vaccines (AZ I think I read) but I’m not sure how that will go down in the Whitehouse.....

I wouldnt have a problem if a few million doses kinda ended up in the ROI from us. We wont grass them up.
 
Hospital figures - 205 deaths were announced today, down 8 on yesterday and down 97 on last Saturday. 185 deaths were in English hospitals, up 11 on yesterday and down 72 on last week. The 7 day rolling average falls to 240.57

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 158 deaths were announced today, down 78 on yesterday and down 132 on last Saturday. The 7 day rolling average falls to 244.86

For the 60 day cut off, 287 deaths were announced today, down 125 on yesterday and down 206 on last Saturday. The 7 day rolling average falls to 374.71

On the vaccines, 22.89m vaccines have been given out, 21.8m first shots and 1.09m 2nd shots. Broken down by country this works out as

England - 19.26m (18.49m first shot, 766k second)
Scotland - 1.86m (1.74m first shot, 114k 2nd)
Wales - 1.15m (983k first shot, 168k 2nd)
Northern Ireland - 619k (577k first shot, 42k 2nd)

So thats kicking in at circa halving in a week.

And with the last CV briefing showing hospital admissions have fallen tons, with a large dash of AZ, perhaps we are getting there.

From a virus perspective mate. We need the U.K. and Ireland to do well, what will effect one will effect the other with CTA etc.

The North had a terrible time over the winter and that was concerning for us, because we had it pretty good until we messed up Xmas. But the island needs both jurisdictions doing well as 10s of thousands go over and back over the border almost every day and mix. The border counties in particular have had some tough times.

Yeah we’ve gone over 500K today for doses. I’m pretty happy with that, we’re doing the two dose strategy and three week intervals with the MRNAs with that in mind we’re doing grand. I tried to apply what you guys are doing in the U.K. with single doses and 12 week intervals to our figures, i think you would still be ahead with the earlier start and having AZ longer, but I’m not sure by as much as you might read in the Telegraph.

Supply is the issue in the EU alright, we’re lucky in that we took up all our quota of all the vaccines, our target for March is 100k a week, at the moment we are about 85k, really AZ aren’t delivering, but again we’re not using it in over 70s at the mo and they are the groups we are doing at the moment.

I expect supply to improve in the coming weeks though and we are doing grand as it is, fingers crossed J&J gets the thumbs up on Thursday (heard a rumour) thats when the EMA will give a decision. That would give us a turbo boost heading into April, while it’s also around the time frame the kinks in supply are said to be worked out, fingers crossed!

Data is way out of date.....
Lol.

It's the case that decline in infection rates have slowed and plateaued and there is evidence that infections are on the increase in some parts of the country. Van Tam yesterday underlined that.

Reports from last couple of days:



The rush to reopen is madness. Absolute madness.
 
So did you check what's happened since?

If you saw the last scientific briefing, as in not the Hancock Show the other day, the data is stark. And very encouraging, but we are not out the woods yet.

Basically, local rises in infections, (from a small base, so 3 to 6 is 100% rise), are not that concerning because the impact of the vax on serious problems is now proven and irrefutable. Its continue to do what we have all done for a year, wait till you are invited for a jab, and dont celebrate with the Rangers players.

The government are always out of date. They are still publishing hospital figures from a week ago as the “current” figures, when it’s a lot different now.

I just do not believe why you are enjoying this so much.
